Privacy Policy — Tactic Board Football

Effective date: June 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Tactic Board Football (“TBFootball”, the “Game”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you play our mobile game on iOS or Android. By playing, you agree to this Policy.

Plain-language summary: You don’t create an account or give us your name or email to play. We save your game progress against a random ID generated on your device. We use Apple/Google and RevenueCat to handle purchases, and third-party ad networks to show ads. In some regions you’ll be asked to consent before we (or our partners) use your data for personalized advertising — you can decline and still play.

1. Information We Collect

a) Device and identity data. When you first open the Game, the app generates a random identifier (“Device ID”) and a signed access token derived from it. We use these to save your game and wallet and to keep your data secure. We do not require an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise GPS location to play.

b) Game progress and purchase data. We store your career, squad, fixtures, standings, and in-game balances (coins and diamonds), linked to your Device ID. When you make an in-app purchase, the transaction is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and our purchase provider RevenueCat; we receive purchase records (e.g. product purchased, transaction identifiers, purchase/restore status) but never your full payment card details.

c) Usage and diagnostic data. We log basic gameplay events (such as app opens / daily logins) to understand retention and improve the Game, along with technical data needed to operate the service (e.g. requests to our servers, error/diagnostic information).

d) Advertising data. The Game shows advertising (including rewarded ads you may choose to watch for in-game rewards). To serve and measure ads, our advertising partners may access:

  • your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS / Advertising ID on Android),
  • your IP address and coarse location derived from it,
  • device characteristics (model, OS version, language, network type), and
  • ad interaction data (impressions, clicks, completions).

Whether this data is used for personalized (interest-based) advertising depends on your consent and device permissions — see Section 5.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

  • provide, save, sync, and restore your game progress and purchases;
  • operate the online service that resolves matches and prevents cheating/fraud;
  • display and measure advertising (personalized only where permitted — see Section 5);
  • understand engagement and improve the Game (analytics);
  • provide customer support; and
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

3. How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your contact information. We share information with:

  • Apple App Store / Google Play and RevenueCat — to process and validate in-app purchases.
  • Advertising partners (for example, AppLovin (MAX) and other mediated ad networks) — to serve and measure ads. Depending on your consent, these partners may use advertising identifiers for personalized advertising and measurement.
  • Infrastructure providers (for example, Cloudflare) — to host the servers that run the Game.
  • Authorities / legal — where required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Each third party processes data under its own privacy policy: RevenueCat (https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy), AppLovin (https://www.applovin.com/privacy/), Apple (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/), Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy), Cloudflare (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/).

4. Legal Bases (EEA / UK)

Where the EU/UK GDPR applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (to provide the Game you requested), legitimate interests (to secure the service, prevent cheating, run analytics, and show non-personalized ads), consent (for personalized advertising and any other use that requires it), and legal obligations. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Section 5).

  • Apple App Tracking Transparency (iOS). Before any partner uses your IDFA to track you across apps/websites, iOS shows a permission prompt. If you decline, you’ll still see ads, but they will be non-personalized. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
  • EEA / UK consent. In these regions we present a consent screen (a Consent Management Platform) before serving personalized ads. You may accept or refuse, and you can change your choice later from the Game’s settings / consent option. Refusing does not stop you from playing; you’ll receive non-personalized ads.
  • Android. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID in Settings → Privacy → Ads.
  • United States (California and similar). “Sharing” advertising identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share” under certain laws. You may opt out — withdraw ad consent / decline tracking as above, or contact us at the email in Section 10 to request that we limit such sharing.

6. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent.

Because we identify your data only by a random Device ID (not your name or email), to act on a request we may ask you to provide your Device ID or proof you control the device. You can also reset your career inside the Game to wipe your progress, and delete the app to stop further collection. To make a request, contact us at the email in Section 10. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Data Retention

We keep game and purchase data while you use the Game and as needed for the purposes in this Policy (including fraud prevention, financial record-keeping, and legal compliance). We delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed or upon a valid deletion request.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including signed device tokens and access-controlled, server-side storage. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Game is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13 (or under the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
